letra de the wild west is where i want to be - tom lehrer
(introduction, only on live alb-m „tom lehrer revisited“, spoken:)
now if i may indulge in a bit of personal history, a few years ago
i worked for a while at the los alamos scientific laboratory in
new mexico. i had a job there as a spy. no, i guess you know
that the staff out there at that time was composed almost exclusively
of spies… of one persuasion or another. and, while i was out there,
i came to realize how much the wild west had changed since the good
old days of wyatt earp and „home on the range“, and here then is a
modern cowboy ballad commemorating that delightful metamorphosis called
„the wild west is where i wanna be“:
along the trail you’ll find me lopin’
where the sp-ces are wide open
in the land of the old a.e.c. yee-hoo!
where the scenery’s attractive
and the air is radioactive
oh, the wild west is where i wanna be
‘mid the sagebrush and the cactus
i’ll watch the fellows practice
droppin’ bombs through the clean desert breeze
a-ha!
i’ll have on my sombrero
and of course i’ll wear a pair o’
levis over my lead b.v.d.’s
i will leave the city’s rush
leave the fancy and the plush
leave the snow and leave the slush
and the crowds
i will seek the desert’s hush
where the scenery is lush
how i long to see the mush-room clouds
‘mid the yuccas and the thistles
i’ll watch the guided missiles
while the old f.b.i. watches me
yee-hoo!
yes, i’ll soon make my appearance
(soon as i can get my clearance)
’cause the wild west is where i wanna be
